We're not bashing you AYYYYMERICANS lol. Just I find it amusing that you pronounce the first letter of Iraq as a capital.Spearhead wrote:

Look, this isn't a "bash the way Americans talk" thread. This is a "how do you pronounce the word 'Iraq'" thread. I think saying it like eye-rack is kinda dumb, personally.
Howz about we all go ask Saddam how it's pronounced, eh?

ee-rack.
all wrong. well, more like ahey-raq. kind of hard to translate to english being as the letter doesnt exist in the english language. the letter pronounced by itself is "ayhn"
I usually pronounce it: guh-li-buul
I'll try pronouncing it like that at school, FBI will probably come ask me some questionsGunSlinger OIF II wrote:

saying eye rock is probably closer to an english translation.
also. there has been different schools of though regarding translation from arabic to english. for the longest time, the french version of arabic words were the mainstream (words like Muslim used to be spelled Moslem, koran and quran)
